I am. :cool3:

I am. :cool3:

 

Me too.....:thumbup:

My wife is searching and searching and searching for a deal for a iphone if you can help there I will pass it on,

Andy.

My mum just got cut off by them because they screwed everything up a few months back and she ended up behind on her bills because of it, she's retired due to ill health and doesn't have a landline, so was her only phone, anything you can do about that? lol

cant do any deals on iphones as the tariffs are fixed with no discount available but can do good deals on anything else, anyone due an upgrade?

i just changed over from orange to the 3 network, as 3 do better Internet addons that compliment the iphone a lot better.

 

Cant complain with 2gig of data allowance on iphone for the price of a £5 for a month, plus the added benifit of being able to plug the iphone into your PC and use it as a modem means internet on the go.

yeah its called tethering and orange charge £10 a month to allow it, whats 3 like for coverage these days?

I just upgraded to an atrix with orange,got a good deal, aswell as the multimedia dock free,also bought a 3 internet sim for when i travel as orange isnt as good for 3g coverage,was only 4.99 for 1gig,and everywhere ive been the 3g signal has been very good.

thats what i did with my 3 internet sim card,well sort of,lol,,,used my htc desire hd as an internet hotspot for my non 3g tablet,,works awesome

3 is excellent to be honest, and they don't charge a tethering fee.

 

Stevo if you go to my3 and select buy addon, and get the Internet monthly addon for £5 you get 2 gig of data allowance that lasts 30days.

 

hasnt been a place in the country i have been too where i do not get a 3 signal.

 

3 have improved dramatically, a lot better over orange as well

 

for instance for £10 credit, i get 300 three to three minutes so i can speak to another 3 user free of charge, 150meg internet allowence on the top up, and 300 any network texts, plus my £10 calling credit, then if i go to addons, i can get the internet montly allowence of 2gig for £5

 

which is perfect for an iphone, and the network speed is fast as hell, even when tethered.

would just like to add, i started out on a iphone contract with orange and still didn't have very good Internet package with out paying the £75 per month for the contract, so i opted for the £45 per month package, which didn't cater for the fact that the iphone is pretty much pointless with out the use of the Internet.

 

I then paid my contract off and went to orange pay as you go in the hopes it would be better, but having had a dongle on the 3 network for some time for my laptop, it just made more sense to switch my phone over to them, i then had to pay orange £20 to unlock my OWN iphone to any network so its now factory unlocked even though i bought it off them when i paid up my contract.

 

To say "not happy about the service" is an understatement.

 

when i changed my phone number over to my pay as you go 3 sim, i also go £10 free calling credit.

 

3 customer service is free to ring from your 3 sim card, unlike orange who charge 0.25p and if you get cut off mid call, or have to ring them back, they charge it again, so unless you have credit on your phone you cant ring them, not very good if you have a problem with the network and need to speak to them to get it sorted out.

 

Also the adult filter on orange was crap, i just couldn't get on the 300zx.co.uk website from my orange phone due to age restrictions, trying to get them to unlock the phone to allow 18 rated sites so i could get on this very website meant i had to go into the orange store, show my id, THEN ring customer service so they could verify it??? surely orange shop could of lifted the restrictions while i was there instead of me having to waist 0.25p to contact customer services after id presented my self in the shop with my driving licence?

 

3 was much easier, i just connected to this site with out anything redirecting me to say that it was 18 rated? and even when i went into the 3 store to get the restriction lifted for torrent sites, it was as simple as standing there with my drivers licence, giving them my phone number, one text and a phone reset later and all was good.

 

So for convenience it was as easy as just nipping into town and flashing my ID, while i got on and did everything else i needed to do.

 

i wasted 0.25p on orange to find out i had to take a trip into to town, i then wasted premium petrol to go into town, for them to say that i then had to waste another 0.25p ringing customer service back to get the restriction lifted.

 

now ok 0.50p isnt going the break the bank, but when im trying to use that credit as a means to talk to my friends, why should i have to use it to verify my bloody age after using my own petrol to go into town just so a guy at orange can say ive now got to ring customer services back and get charged again?

 

Any charge no matter how big or small, is intolerable when trying to get the most use out of your own phone.

 

what annoyed me the most, is orange know full well my age as i took a contract out with them, but due to network policy, they have a different department for contract and another for pay as you go, and the two do not seem to share information about the same customer with in the same company?

 

with orange i paid £689 to get out of my contract, a ferther £20 to get my phone unlocked, and then a ferther 0.75p to get restrictions lifted and get my PAK code to change network.

 

With 3 so far, ive paid nothing to use my sim card (not counting calling credit) to full effect.

I've been out of contract for about 12 months. I keep meaning to upgrade, but I feel Orange have forgotten about me and don't care.. Sob..

 

I've been a customer for 10 years now and just recently had my largest ever bill of 150 quid. That was 50 minutes of call time to another Orange mobile in the UK - I hadn't used my phone for anything else that month. Nothing.

 

Which just shows me Orange are a bunch of :asshole: s

 

180 pounds an hour to use my phone abroad.

 

Fook you Orange, take your upgrade and shove it up your :asshole:. I wouldn't give you the steam off my pi55.

 

Ahem, excuse me. Don't know what came over me there.

 

Thanks for the offer, but I'll be taking my business somewhere where I don't get my :asshole: raped the minute I set foot out the country.

wish id never asked now lol.

The response i was expecting was "yes im due an upgrade what can you do for me" lol

LOL - Its nothing personal, I'll calm down in a minute...

 

... and then ask you what offers are on at the moment!

I'm with Orange and have been for a few years but I keep getting bummed on the monthly bill despite being on tariffs that are supposed to included everything I use (internet, txt and calls).

 

I'm on a business tariff and not finishing the contract til next year but desperately looking for ways out of it.

 

Added to the fact that regardless of their union with Tmobile the reception quality and frequency of dropped calls alone are enough to get me to move to another provider.

 

241 cinema tickets are not enough to keep my custom I'm afraid....
